Engage Mobile Solu­tions and Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing have teamed up to bring fans inside the helmets of the RLL Racing Team at the Indi­anapolis Motor Speedway. Using multiple pairs of Google Glass, the firm captured a prac­tice session and pit stop featuring Graham Rahal, Bobby Rahal and the pit crew of the RLL Racing Team. Sports fans and tech­nology lovers alike will want to catch a glimpse of the ground-breaking video, which debuts today.

INDIANAPOLIS | May 7, 2014 — Ten members of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing (RLL), a premier team competing in the Verizon IndyCar Series, made history April 30 as they tested the latest tech­nology from Google Inc. — Google Glass — at the famed Indi­anapolis Motor Speedway. Viewers can step inside the world of racing with the crew today, as Kansas City, Mo.-based Engage Mobile Solu­tions releases the real-time video, which features RLL driver Graham Rahal, co-owner and Indy 500 winner Bobby Rahal, and the RLL Racing team’s pit crew.

The video uses cutting-edge tech­nology to tap into the exciting world of motor­sports via wear­able computing. Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing worked with Engage Mobile, to capture key moments inside the action of an Indy car on the track and a tightly chore­o­graphed Indy car pit stop.

“At Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, we are always looking to leverage the latest tech­nology for our National Guard Honda program,” said Bobby Rahal, Indy 500 winner and co-owner of RLL. “We were excited to work with Engage Mobile to exper­i­ment with the latest wear­able tech­nology from Google before it is avail­able to the general public.”

The video show­cases the “real time” perspec­tive of Graham Rahal and high­lights other members of the pit crew as they scramble to provide a full pit stop including tire change and refu­eling in mere seconds.

“Racing is all about shaving hundredths of a second from your lap time and pit stops, and our team is looking for every oppor­tu­nity to get better and faster,” said Graham Rahal, driver of the No. 15 National Guard Honda. “The video allows the public a personal view of our fast-paced world and allows us to look for ways to become even better.”

“It was a delight to work with RLL Racing -– one of the top teams in the Verizon IndyCar Series – at the most famous track in the world,” said Matthew Barks­dale, pres­i­dent of Engage Mobile Solu­tions. “We are always looking for ways to help compa­nies use mobile tech­nology to drive their busi­ness, and RLL is a great example of a company looking to gain a compet­i­tive advan­tage through the use of technology.”

Google Glass, a wear­able computer with an optical head-mounted display, provides infor­ma­tion in a smartphone-like, hands-free format. This inno­v­a­tive new tech­nology allows users to interact with the Internet via natural language voice commands to perform tasks like navi­ga­tion, accessing the Internet, texting, taking pictures, and shooting videos. Google Glass has been devel­oped by Moun­tain View, Calif.-based Google Inc. in the Project Glass research and devel­op­ment phases. Google Glass is an exper­i­mental product that will not be made avail­able to the general public until later in 2014.

Engage Mobile is working with Google to develop soft­ware and explore unique appli­ca­tions of Glass like compiling the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing video project at the Indi­anapolis Motor Speedway.
